Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb in as little as a month, according to a new estimate by one of the USA's top nuclear experts.

The new assessment comes as the White House invited Senate staffers to a briefing on negotiations with Iran as it is trying to persuade Congress not to go ahead with a bill to stiffen sanctions against Iran.

"Shortening breakout times have implications for any negotiation with Iran," stated the report by the Institute for Science and International Security. "An essential finding is that they are currently too short and shortening further."

David Albright, president of the institute and a former inspector for the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, said the estimate means that Iran would have to eliminate more than half of its 19,000 centrifuges to extend the time it would take to build a bomb to six months.

The Obama administration has said Iran is probably a year away from having enough enriched uranium to make a bomb.

Bernadette Meehan, an NSC spokeswoman for President Obama's National Security Council, said the intelligence community maintains "a number of assessments" regarding potential time frames for Iran to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for one weapon or a testable nuclear device.hi

"We continue to closely monitor the Iranian nuclear program and its stockpile of enriched uranium," Meehan said.

World powers are seeking an agreement "that ultimately resolves all of the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program," she said. "The ultimate goal is a comprehensive agreement that is credible, transparent, and verifiable."

In the report, Albright said negotiations with Iran should focus on so-called "breakout" times, or the time required to convert low-enriched uranium to weapons-grade.

Albright, who has testified before Congress, said the negotiators should try to find ways to lengthen the breakout times and shorten the time that inspectors could detect breakout. ISIS' analysis is based on the latest Iranian and United Nations reports on Iran's centrifuge equipment for producing nuclear fuel and its nuclear fuel stockpiles.

Iran's stockpile of medium-enriched uranium has nearly doubled in a year's time and its number of centrifuges has expanded from 12,000 in 2012 to 19,000 today.

Sen. Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican whose Senate Banking Committee is considering legislation to tighten Iran sanctions, said the report shows that Iran is expanding its nuclear capabilities under the cover of negotiations.

"The Senate should move forward immediately with a new round of sanctions to prevent Iran from acquiring an undetectable breakout capability," he said.

The White House has said new sanctions legislation should wait while current negotiations — scheduled to resume officially in Geneva next month — are moving forward.

The White House said Thursday it will continue consulting with Congress "so that any congressional action is aligned with our negotiating strategy as we move forward," said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for President Obama's National Security Council.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has said his country has no interest in nuclear weapons but that producing nuclear fuel is Iran's right. His foreign minister, Javad Zarif, has said Iran will not ship its nuclear stockpile to a third country.

However, Iran has blocked international inspectors from some suspected nuclear facilities to verify they are being used for peaceful purposes, access required under international agreements it has signed.

United Nations inspectors have found evidence of a weapons program in violation of Iran's commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The USA and the U.N. Security Council have implemented crippling economic sanctions on Iran to sway it to take steps to assure the world it is not developing a bomb.

Israel, which sees an Iranian nuclear bomb as a threat to its very existence, has said it will take military action to prevent Iran from getting a bomb.

ISIS estimated in October 2012 that Iran could produce enough highly-enriched uranium for a bomb within two to four months. The new estimate is based on an analysis of the latest reports by Iran and the the IAEA.

ISIS considered various scenarios, including if Iran decided to build a covert enrichment plant like it has under a mountain in Fordow, near the city of Qom, that was designed for optimal efficiency and minimal time to enrich enough uranium for bomb making. Such a facility built with current Iranian technology could produce enough material for a bomb in a week, according to the ISIS report.

"If they did that and they were caught it would be a smoking gun of a nuclear weapons program," Albright said.

If Iran moves ahead with installation of its more efficient, second generation centrifuges, it would be able to produce enough nuclear fuel for a bomb with so few of them, between 2,000 and 3,300 centrifuges, that they could fit in a small warehouse, Albright said.

Well,I am discussing the current rift in the GOP aka conservative movement such as men like DeMint nowadays saying this is not conservative position over at Heritage; or the Paleo-Cons, a good example being Pat Buchanan, who tend to be anti-war but definitely not in the pre-emptive aka offensive war camp. Especially when using offensive war is for progressive reasons. I liken this progressivism as the same basis for the destruction of our own state's sovereignty over the long-term.

Are you talking to yourself?

Speaking before a large group of Jews at Yeshiva University who signaled their approval by hearty applause, Sheldon Adelson called for the US military to drop a nuclear bomb on the people of Iran. View Story & Videos Here, Here & Here.

PUTTING JEWS OUT OF POWER
WE ALL KNOW what the problem is…it’s time for some real solutions.

5 Point Plan To Put Jews Out Of Power:

1) Require AIPAC to be the first Jewish organization to register as a foreign agent.

2) Jews with US-Israeli dual-citizenship must give up one or the other.

• Jews can then either choose to be US citizens of the Jewish faith or register as aliens if they keep their Israeli citizenship.

3) Jews who do give up their US citizenship and register as aliens must not be allowed constitutionally to hold government offices nor be allowed to vote.

• Jews who retain their US citizenship must swear to and sign a loyalty oath based on the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1953 which requires:

• “Renunciation” of allegiance to any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances.

4) Citizens United must be overturned by a Constitutional Amendment so as to prevent thousands of Jewish PACS from subverting elections.

5) All Synagogues with Zionist ‘non-profit’ collection boxes or issuing Appeals to financially support Israel must register as foreign agents or lose their tax deduction status.

• No other religious institution — be it Church, Mosque, or Ashram — is allowed to conduct political and campaigning business on its premises, much less plot the subversion and overthrow of governments and establish a country of one’s own in a foreign land through land theft, fraud, murder and war.

Because its a scathing attack upon the people who want the US to bomb Iran. I didnt say it , he Brother Nathaniel did and this dude is not messing around. He knows what he is talking about . I live in a dense environment with lots of Jewish folks on both sides of the fence. What part do you have a problem with ? See , I really dont like the IDF or Mossad and I am pretty sick of war. One way or another this alliance with Israel and political Zionism has to go . I see nothing harsh in this realistic suggestion. Is it too fair ?

"Brother Nathanael" considers Jews the "enemy of mankind," says Jews carried out 9/11 and pretty much blames Jews for all the ills of the world. He's a sick, demented piece of shit. You think this guy "knows what he's talking about," huh?

My sister worked for Amdoc an Israeli IC . She said the israelis who worked for her said they knew and guess what ? Amdoc is on the record for having intelligence on 9-11 before it happened . I think 9-11 was a rigged affair as well. Molten metal tells no lies.

So whats wrong with making Jews with dual citizenship chose ? Its only fair.

Anyway..."Brother Nathanael" considers Jews the "enemy of mankind." He says Jews carried out 9/11 and pretty much blames Jews for all the ills of the world.

Political Zionism and the Jews who support it and the Masons /Illuminati and the rest of the Bankers . They are the the problem . Follow the money and the blood dripping from it. Bro Nat is more right than wrong. I dont like Putin . Bro Nat Does.

You're clearly an unstable nut, but worse, you're truly a piece of shit. Unless you enjoy your paranoid crappy life, you should get mental help, loser.

Ok ...so you would lie in order to shut a person with views like me down. Sounds like what the Pharasees and Saduccee did to Jesus . So I guess that is compliment. With people holding the sentiments you just wrote there is no need to call anyone paranoid. You are demonstrating how unstable society especially left minded society is at the moment. I am not angry dude , I am not the one calling for a nuke to be dropped on Iran.

I don't know what "lie" you are talking about, but no, I don't want to shut a person like you down. I want idiots like you to speak up. It's a good reminder to everyone of the kind of shit that floats around out there. Better to know what people like you are thinking. Hopefully, someone who knows you can get you into a mental institution where you belong before you start firing at people from a clock tower.

You know I was orginally convinced there was something to this. Partially because of my bias against Cheney/Bush. But then I looked at the evidence, because as odd as that is in this forum, thats how I roll. The evidence is pretty clear and once you sit back and consider the difficulty of keeping this all quiet you have to chuckle you were gullible enough to be sucked in.

Thats strength in my mind. You looked at all the evidence, and even though it went against what you hoped for or thought, you let the evidence win.

He took his paranoia and latent insanity and put it all together with the motto Be all you can be

I actually appreciate the Truthers, if not for them asking questions I wouldn’t know nearly as much about the 9-11 attacks as I do.

What you are doing is aking to black magic , just thought you should know. It's very evil. Hopefully you will repent of this kind of behavior. If anyone needs to know the disposition of another it is me. You asked me why I posted that piece by Brother Nathaniel ? It was a hunch and you are the basis for the hunch. You may not realize , so I will make myself clear. I flushed you our for what you are dude.

Were you under the influence of black magic before you achieved the clarity you have now?
